retrieving number of socket being used/open & total bandwidth from my computer??

[hanhao]

how do i retrieve number of socket being used/open & total bandwidth from my computer??
what API to use?

from experience, there are 2 main things from a program that slow a computer's network connection down
- too many sockets used by a program, espically adware
- too much bandwidth hogged by a program, espically adware

correct??

hence i am trying to find these 2 info on the computer and display them out in a nice stats format

use the iphlpapi functions should be: GetTcpTable(...)/GetUdpTable(...)

check msdn.microsoft.com for the documentation.

For bandwidth GetIfTable(). Then the dwSpeed parameter of the MIB_IFROW struct which is the member of MIB_IFTABLE struct.
